In 1951 I was working at my first full-time job, nowhere
close to DC. Where were you? Still "chuckling" in the
zygote pool?

[ chuckle, chuckle ]

Things are a bit different now. Internet access to ALL
government is faster than overnight express mail. FCC has
to accept ALL filings. By law.

It's always been that way, Len.

Not before 1934. :-)

The correspondence on hot-
ticket Dockets is enormous compared to more than a half
century ago.

Fun fact:

Back about 1964 - a bit more than a dozen years after 1951, and more
than 25 years before "the internet went public", the proposed changes
that would come to be known as "incentive licensing" caused FCC to
receive over 6000 comments. Back then the US amateur population was
less than half what it is today, and practically all of them went by US
mail.

Did the FCC "chuckle" over them?

Did you work for FCC in 1964, Jim-Jim? Did you see all those
"6000" comments?

[ chuckle, chuckle ]

In 1964 I was Chief Engineer at Birtcher Instruments Division
and had received my Army Honorable Discharge four years before
that. Where were you then?

[ chuckle, chuckle ]

Remember, Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday...

Jim has an Honorable discharge? I didn't even know that he served.
